Astronaut in MEZZ

Astronaut is the runaway singer-songwriter project of Pelle Bast. With his six-piece band and an endless DIY mentality, he reached the main stage of Into The Great Wide Open and Wilde Weide thanks to their debut album.

In everyday life, Bast is a doubter, but as soon as he steps onto the stage, he transforms into a fearless kitchen-table philosopher. He effortlessly answers questions about the meaning of life and about what he will put on his bread tomorrow. Those who look at our planet with him discover the most beautiful details.

The Dutch-language songs of Astronaut balance between profundity and naivety in their purest form. Their performance at Noorderslag was received with praise, and with the second album De Lucht, they sold out their first headline tour entirely.

As blood runs where it cannot go, new songs continue to push themselves forward. On the way to their third album, Astronaut steadily grows into your new favourite underdog.
